Flint Journal reporters will Tweet their observations from several Genesee County polling places throughout the evening. As the results come in after the polls close at 8 p.m., we'll Tweet those while maintaining a running tally at mlive.com/flint.

Journal staffers so far report a low
turnout, but elections officials expect voting to increase in the last couple hours before polls close.

By about 4:30 p.m., Grand Blanc Township voter turnout was less than
half of what it was for the Paul Scott recall in November, Kristin Longley reported via
Twitter. One Grand Blanc Township precinct had just 73 of 1,484 voters
cast ballots as of 3 p.m.

In contrast, Longley reports voters are waiting in line at Fenton Township polls for the GOP primary vote and the special election to fill the recall-vacated 51st state House district seat.

Blake Thorne reports an election worker said Davison Township's Precinct
2 has less than 10 percent voter turnout, and Davison Township's Precinct 5
had 107 voters, of 1,940 registered, as of about 5 p.m.

Precinct 45, in Flint, reported about 50 voters of the more than 1,200 registered there.
